What You Will Do in This Role:
Primary equipment focus is to help manage and coordinate the design of AMR equipment incorporating various types of material handling system applications.
Configure AMR fleet management software and commission the hardware and related software at the customer’s facility.
Define mid- and top-level behavior of the AMRs, shaping the overall system behavior.
Provide detailed new equipment and acceptance testing specifications.
Drive activities to ensure new equipment is built to specification.
Characterize and document the baseline performance and capability of each system and maintain performance to the baseline.
Serve as a primary point of contact for customers during the implementation phase on site and enable a successful transition to live operation.
Collaborate with others to create a training program for on-site users.
Fluent in English; Chinese and French Canadian are advantages.
